  4. ↑ The birth location of Palmer is probably wrong. It is listed as New Salem on Charles' death record, and Clinton on Warren's death record. The uncertainty in the birth year does not help investigation but no records of a Delight Rice over the entire span are found. However, Dr. Samuel Rice m. Nancy Woodburn in Worcester, had a daughter Nancy in Athol 1694 and his wife died in Athol in 1807 (no other children found). He appears to have married Dorcas Foster in New Hampshire 1809 and had a son Charles in New Salem in 1810. According to Source:Ward, Andrew Henshaw. Genealogical History of the Rice Family : Descendants of Deacon Edmund Rice, p. 76, (which is missing some of this detail, like the daughter Nancy and the second wife and her child), after New Salem, he went to Maine. It may be that Delight was actually born to Samuel and Nancy in Athol, possibly in 1806, or possibly nearer the death date of her mother? She may be the same person referred to as "daughter, Delia" on Dr. Samuel Rice's Find A Grave memorial.
